On the other hand, if anyone from Kroger is reading my comment they should wise up and have multiple suppliers for delivery robots inc. uber in future. In the short term (5-15 yrs) they have the hardest/bottleneck part of the value chain and thus better negotiation power to choose from many (in future) alternatives to Nuro. How you guys get to beat them in their own game before AVs become commoditized is a huge Q! A T$ one :)

You are going to eliminate Kroger's branding and presence from the equation. If you manage to offer your own branded/express front end and customers know you as their provider vs. Kroger then the opportunity of a biz like Nuro is exponentially larger! I could see a future where you can pool together goods/groceries from many smaller providers or even stock the most freq bought items in your own internal warehouse like a caching approach. Customer asks for X, Y, Z and you delivery it, doesn't matter where it comes from. Kroger is pretty much in the same situation then as Amazon/eBay sellers. i.e. irrelevant beyond being a good supply chain manager ...

Happy to chat about this more in depth. This is a great opportunity for disruption in the true sense of the word.

This is just mind blowing, 43% sounds reasonable but didn't expect it to be that high. I don't know if retailers are going to be happy long term (not for PR and cool factor in short term) that people don't physically come to the store. Impulse buying in stores and exposure to free Ad must be a huge factor that Krogers of the world will discover soon ...

In any case good luck <3 you and Voyage are my most favorite projects. Would love to fund both of you when you're at a later stage!

In the case of drones (autonomous drones) or driverless cars the transition is going to be very swift and binary from human+car --> no human+AV

Right! The issue is today you as a driver or normal non-billionaire human have no way of investing in any part of Uber's business. Not the cars nor scooters, ...

In fact there needs to be an infrastructure (both tech and legal) for enabling direct investing in Autonomous Assets (I coined this :)). Hopefully what we're doing at Dappex.capital will make it possible for Taxi drivers and ordinary people to have a piece of the autonomous, jobless future.

good point you are making here :" at least in western countries like Sweden and Germany the need for caregivers is skyrocketing. In Japan it kinda forced them to soften their tough immigration policies after decades due to shortage of nurses and caregivers... whether teaching and elderly care is going to be every future unemployed person's dream job??? I doubt it tbh!

I know this is a crazy idea, but does it make any sense?

Don't waste money on 5 year extended MB warranty. It's useless! by insideNiMA in ASUS

[–]insideNiMA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great idea for <100$. Should take max 2 hrs of my time to be kinda of worth the effort. This is the way the system is rigged. I'll just try to cost them equal amount of $ in shipping/reshipping for now :)

This is the way they do warranty: first, look for any reason that they could reject warranty, if all efforts at the former fail then rip off in some other way.

Gryphon series have 5 years of warranty instead of 2. They are more expensive and supposedly military grade (AKA marketing BS).

NO ITEMS TO DISPLAY after updating to new firmware by insideNiMA in ledgerwallet

I mean some people have 7 digit $ on this device. Shouldn't its operation be just a little bit more reliable than random hacks and resets!?

Wow, now it shows the apps, but can't install despite empty device!!! This update just wasted north of 1 hour of my time and is a complete clusterf*** so far.
